  December 28, 2016 - Fantastic nose. Finish was not quite as nice, but drinking very well.

  March 31, 2016 - Robust and ripe notes of cherries, raspberries, and cherry cola. Classic RRV perhaps. A bit hot on the palate but solid and straightforward and unmistakably Californian.

  January 18, 2016 - Very much in a KB style at this point. More about extraction than nuance.

  November 12, 2015 - Good on Jay Selman for brining this to the dinner for contrast, as we put this alongside all of the new 2014s and nearly all the 2013s Kutch pinots. Listed abv of 14.4% and 30% whole cluster. For me, this showed a hard red fruit candy, heavier texture and a spicy finish that was a bit too much for my delicate palate. It was cool to visit this wine from the perspective of Jamie's history but I would clearly rather stick with the new era Kutch style.

  November 2, 2015 - From magnum, opened 3 hours ahead and decided not to decant. Amazing similar to my last note from 2009 in that this has gorgeous red fruit, racy acidity and earth tones. This time I noticed a touch of orange on the rim and the palate was just mesmerizingly balanced. I was not expecting elegance like this, but it was there. Great with a chicken-based dish and it made folks think I was a food/wine matching wizard instead of lucky and somewhat surprised.
